No, I don't think FiJC would like OPH's answer on whether Cheney can be impeached for alleged crimes that occurred before he was VP, not one iota. It's not what he's going to say but how he's going to say it, if you get my drift.

In fact, I'm pre-chuckling in anticipation of his response.

Actually, I was just wondering if a public official may be impeached for misconduct comitted prior to their election to current public office.

I believe they can, as Article II, section 4, of the U.S. Constitution does not specifically put this limitation on the issue of Impeachment.
